From: Dima Chumak <dchumak@xxxxxxxxxx> commit fe7738eb3ca3631a75844e790f6cb576c0fe7b00 upstream. The result of __dev_get_by_index() is not checked for NULL, which then passed to mlx5e_attach_encap() and gets dereferenced. Also, in case of a successful lookup, the net_device reference count is not incremented, which may result in net_device pointer becoming invalid at any time during mlx5e_attach_encap() execution. Fix by using dev_get_by_index(), which does proper reference counting on the net_device pointer. Also, handle nullptr return value when mirred device is not found. It's safe to call dev_put() on the mirred net_device pointer, right after mlx5e_attach_encap() call, because it's not being saved/copied down the call chain.
